312 Of Course, It Was Amazing! (1/2)

During lunch break.

Chiaki shot him a condescending look. ”How did it feel to sleep together with a tender and sweet loli?”

”I knew that you would ask this question...” Seiji sighed before changing his expression to a serious one. ”Of course it was amazing!” He flashed them a big thumbs-up as he praised the experience.

*Slap!* *Slap!*

He was slapped on both his left and right cheek.

”Eh? My hand involuntarily moved by itself.”

”Same for me. I only noticed that I had slapped after I already finished.”

Chiaki and Mika both acted as if what they had done was inconceivable. Seiji was rendered speechless.

”I already expected to be slapped when I said that, at least by Mika. Chiaki, you don't have the right to lecture me, I'd think?”

'Haven't you 'tasted' many tender and sweet lolis yourself?' He looked at her with that query in his eyes.

”I've never slept together with any elementary school boys,” the tomboy replied.

Seiji was unable to find any comebacks to this. After all, what they did was indeed different.

”I really didn't do anything,” Seiji said, sighing. ”Of course I wouldn't have done anything either. We merely slept together. If I did anything on top of that, Shika-chan would probably be the first to kill me.”

”You're right about that. Kagura-san had such a serious expression in her eyes.” Chiaki took a bite of her lunch. ”With her keeping a tight guard on you, I suppose I can relax.”

”You should trust in my moral character more.”

”Your moral character was placed into doubt right from the moment you agreed to sleep together with an elementary school girl.”

*Schtick!* Seiji took a direct arrow shot to his forehead.

”She's only a child, and besides, she'll probably want to sleep by herself after a while,” Seiji said, sighing once again. ”And in the end, she won't live with me forever.”

”That's what you say...” Chiaki gave him a meaningful look. ”But even if she's only a child, she's still a 'girl.'”

”...And what does that mean?”

”Nothing in particular.” Chiaki continued eating her lunch.

A moment of silence fell between them.

”Um... How's Amami-sensei doing now?” Mika asked.

”Pretty good,” Seiji answered. ”After her terrifying memories were sealed, she stopped having nightmares. Her androphobia has greatly improved as well, and it seems likely that she'll be completely cured soon.”

”That's wonderful. Sensei suffered so much… I hope that she gets well soon.”

”Yep. We still don't know how to dispel the mysterious power that caused all this, but... when there's a will, there's a way!” Seiji said resolutely.

”That mysterious power... just what could it be?”

”Eh?” Mika was surprised to hear this. ”Like... Mashiro-chan?” she asked with a dazed expression.

Seiji nodded. ”Yep, the President said that they feel similar... in the way they work. Of course, it's obviously not the same thing as Mashiro-chan.

”But since the President intuits that they're similar, then could Mashiro-chan actually have some sort of secret connection to this mysterious power? And if there is a connection, then Sakura-san who gave Mika Mashiro-chan might know something about it. Also, having Mashiro-chan come into contact with Sensei or Reo-chan might cause something to occur if that's the case.”

Mika didn't respond to this.

”I'm not asking for you to take Mashiro-chan out for an experiment. You just need to pay attention to the fact that this could be possible,” Seiji told her. ”It's best if we could meet Sakura-san and ask her about this, but she hasn't been showing up recently. If she does appear before you, remember to ask her about it, Mika.”
